Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday branded Mexican President Vicente Fox the "puppy dog" of US imperialism for backing Washington's trade policies at the recent Summit of the Americas in Argentina.
***
"It makes one sad to see the sell-out of President Fox, really it makes one sad," said the Venezuelan leader, who has become one of Washington's fiercest critics in the region.
***
"How sad that the president of a people like the people of Mexico lets himself become the puppy dog of the empire," he told an audience of middle-class supporters and businessmen.
***
Chavez, an ally of Cuba's Fidel Castro, promised to use the summit to "bury" the free trade deal he portrays as an example of the "evils of capitalism".

He presents his self-described socialist revolution for the poor as the alternative.
***
The Mexican government responded swiftly to Chavez's remarks, demanding an explanation from Venezuela's envoy.
***
"The Venezuelan ambassador Vladimir Villegas Poljak has been summoned to present an explanation in this case," Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement.
***
The Americas summit, hit by violent anti-globalization protests, ended in stalemate with countries including Argentina and Brazil blocking efforts by President George W Bush to reach a deal on a hemisphere-wide free trade zone.
***
Fox, a conservative who has been close to Washington on trade issues, accused Argentina's left-leaning President Nestor Kirchner of pandering to opinion polls instead of pushing a free trade accord backed by US officials at the summit.
***
The Mexican leader also took a slap at Chavez's left-wing ideology.
***
Kirchner told Fox to mind his business. But the two governments say they have now put the spat behind them.
***
Venezuela is the world's number five oil exporter and a key crude supplier to the US market.

But ties between Caracas and Washington have frayed since Chavez came to office in 1998 and strengthened relations with anti-US states like Cuba.
***
US officials accuse Chavez of autocratic rule and say he has become a negative influence who uses his country's oil wealth to fund subversive groups in an attempt to destabilize democratic governments in the region.
***
The diplomatic spats underscore regional divisions over the Free Trade Area of the Americas.

Many Latin American governments fear a deal will unfairly benefit the United States and the accord has become the focus of anti-US protests.******

Ok. Think about it. The US, supposedly THE world's superpower has consistenly botched up every attempt to create a Western Hemisphere Free Trade Zone since the inception of NAFTA in 1993. Ya, it's 2005. Global and monumental incompetence? I think not. Design.
Western hemisphere? Global nature preserve/resort for global elites.

Fox sold Mexico to the US in a way that there is no coming back. Maybe the only payback they will receive is the amnesty for the illegals or recognition of part of the US as a "dual nation" for Hispanics.
